I agree with Taera on this - a mine is a mine. (unless it's yours=-)

Let me get this right though, if I have a minefield of 50 mines (for example) my enemy would need 10 ships with 5 Minesweepers each to clear it without damage?

Wow. That's a lot of ships. Would it be cheaper maybe to build a "mine sacrifice" ship - really big with loads of shilds to go in first and soak up the damage?

BTW T_R - I love your shipset. I playd against it a fw times and it was a great enmy. Really stubborn, I couldn't get it to surrender no matter what.
